in the curriculum. The length of the course is three
years, covering the trades of designers, wood carvers, moulders,
founders, turners, chasers, engravers, gilders, and etchers. Here are
taught drawing in all its branches; modeling in wax and clay; history of
art and metal work; elements of chemistry and physics; mathematics;
German. Practical work in the department in which the student is
engaged, is given, the student stating on entrance what subject he
desires to take up. The time of instruction is from eight to twelve, in
the winter season, and from seven to eleven in the summer. The afternoon
session is from two to six. In the engineering trade school, three hours
per day are devoted to ornamental drawing, German, physics and
arithmetic. As the instruction is planned for working people it is
largely theoretical.

The Reimscheid school is of the apprenticeship order. Attention is given
the making of edge tools and such other implements as are manufactured
in the district. All students take drawing and design as applied to iron
work. They are made acquainted with the different kinds of iron work
that can be carried on in the home; are schooled in the use of the tools
made; learn regarding the markets at which they are sold, and the
various methods of their manufacture. Thus a general understanding of
the principles underlying his trade is given the boy and he becomes
acquainted with the commercial side of his calling while undergoing the
necessary preparation in manipulation. The theoretical work is given in
the morning and what shop practice is offered is in the afternoon from
two to seven. The tuition is twenty dollars per year.

The Pottery Trade School at Hohr Grenzhausen, Prussia, is under State
control. There are day and evening classes, the former attended for the
most part by the sons of manufacturers; the evening classes by men and
women who are employed otherwise during the day. There are Sunday
classes also. Decorated stoneware is given much attention. The day class
boys enter with a fairly good knowledge of drawing and have perhaps
attended the Fortbildungsschule. Drawing, descriptive geometry,
modeling in clay and wax, new forms of vessels and original
ornamentation, painting, designing and decorative art, manufacture of
earthenware, lectures and study of collections, make up the curriculum.
Any original model made becomes the property of the father of the boy,
or of the person financially supporting
